This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X100S in place of this model. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X100S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X100S pushes and pulls with the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The 20 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarded stations. A hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and a 30-500 mm/s speed range round out the build. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED80X100, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 1414 N (about 144 kg) of usable work, which lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X100S (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 481 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100S Is Used
Reciprocating transfer gantry
The through-rod drives a carriage from either cover with equal 2356.2 N force, so a pick-and-place gantry on an electronics line accelerates identically in both directions at 30-500 mm/s.
Symmetric press station
A bench-top forming fixture for aluminium brackets uses the back-end rod as a return stripper, delivering 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on both the press and retract stroke.
Position-flagged guard slide
On a packaging machine slide, the -S magnet trips CMSE switches at each end while the fixed TPU bumpers soften the stops of the 100 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100S with the ACED80X100S
For an 80 mm job needing 2356.2 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this bore is the right class; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter clamps or up to 100 mm (3681.6 N) for heavy presses. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight on, and the -S magnet in this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED80X100 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X100S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the 1/4" port serves both chambers. In practice, budget about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, roughly a 120 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is ACED80X100, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 80 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class on the ISO 21287 short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets, plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, carry over in the replacement family.
